>11,812 In-Game?! shit what do we do, i know let's nerf the knifei used to like this game but now i really want every dev that worked on this blacklisted
It should have been obvious a month ago that they're leaving this game out to die.
What's going to happen when marathon inevitably shuts down?
>>736554209a million threads about it on /v/
>>736553991So their tactic, rather than trying to improve this game, is to give subpar updates until everyone leaves and then pay journos to say it was the bad chud gamers fault?
>>736554290that's going to be some good fun
>>736554209Chuddaposting
>>736553991>i know let's nerf the knife Thank God they did, it was unbearably broken
>>736553991I remember when Anthem devs literally patched the fun out of the game immediately after players started exploiting drop rates for actual good/fun loot. Like all hands on deck shut it down now. The game died shortly after. It was unironically more popular and a bigger hit than this shit
>>736554298sunk cost fallacy.No amount of spending or dev time will rescue this game before the next earnings report is due, and as soon as investors see the financial black hole they'll demand it be axed to save money.Only private companies can get away with spending a year+ to fix a bad game (like No Man's Sky) because they have no investors to answer to, and even NMS had a massive initial injection of cash to justify it.Marathon couldn't even make back dev costs on releases.
>>736554290>>736554350Agreed. At this point roasting Marathon is warm and comfy.
>>736554350The mockery and celebration will make those of Concord's shutdown look like a drop in the bucket.
>>736553991>let's nerf the knife Great change
>>736554209then i am afraid trump has won
>>736555268Why don't we get visually clear games anymore? Why must everything AAA be extremely jarring, colorful, filled with particles and weird futuristic shit that obfuscates your view?
>>736555268they also made bubble shields rarer
>>736553991I kinda wanna play it, but it doesn't have enough players. They should get a bigger player base and I'll try it out
>>736554209Sony will write it off on their taxes and you'll pay for the game whether or not you actually wanted to.
>>736555596Got one in the first Perimeter run I did lol
>>736555630>don't own a sony console>if a sony game comes to pc that i want to play i'll pirate itHow exactly am I paying for it?
>>736554209No refunds.
>>736553991Western studios hate when gamers have fun.
>>736555785Member when fromsoft patched out spell cancelling in elden ring?
>>736555785They used to let players have fun>noob tubing in mw2>running around with akimboGood times.
>>736555463Marathon is the most visually clear game I've played recently, you just suck at articulating your point. >p-particle effects!You mean the LCD walls? The thermal scope? The bullet trails? Only one of those is a particle effect, and trails are a staple in mostly every shooter. >JARRING COLORS!! >WEIRD FUTURISTIC SHIT!! That's called art style, fagmo. It's also a very clean style, for your information.
>>736555268I was expecting something knife related to happen in this but all I saw was some boring gameplay. What was the point?
>>736555268This is what this game looks like?>>736555891>Marathon is the most visually clear game I've played>It's also a very clean styleI pity you.
>>736555268are you the same schizo who moderated the lawbreakers plebbit?
>>736555891>that isn't true>but if it was its actually a good thing
>>736555621It's guaranteed they'll do a free weekend soonish
>>736554102Up until this weekend they were still showing Marathon ads on Amazon prime and Netflix.They threw so much good money after bad on this one.
>>736554447I recall when they did that to launch destiny, there was a place players would hang out and it would just spawn enemies constantly.
>>736553991esports killed these kind of video games.it's no longer about the player having fun, it's about nerfing everything into the ground and forcing people into a specific way of playing the game to preserve the 50:50 outcome
>>736555919Something knife related does happen, the guy in the bubble shield lands one knife attack that eats the entire purple shield and then 60% of the regular health.
>>736554290>the threads will receive more posts than marathon has players
>>736556135The complaints are nonsensical. Get better talking points, idiot. >>736556062>>Marathon is the most visually clear game I've played>>It's also a very clean style>I pity you.This is in fact what a clean visual art direction looks like. Are you daft? Clean = proper lighting, beveled edges, solid colors, minimal grime or other damage textures, simplified models with easy to read silhouettes. All of this was done intentionally so a Runner racing through the map can clearly and quickly identify what is loot, an enemy, an interactable part of the terrain; every second counts in an extraction shooter so this art direction is brilliant. You bloody imbeciles need to stop butchering the English language and actually learn what the meaning behind terms are.
>>736556402>Up until this weekend they were still showing Marathon ads on Amazon prime and Netflix.Player count got as low as ~8600 last night. Doesn't seem like they were getting much return on that investment. >>736556897The days of words meaning things are gone.
>>736556897>literal action figure kneecapsAt the very least they're very dedicated to the nerf/toys aesthetic.
>>736553991this was so incredibly common in destiny. sorry guys I know you’ve been bitching about quests bugs but we really needed to nerf these things that were benefiting the player in our once per quarter patch
>>736557396If you could see through your flesh you would notice that human articulation mirrors articulation in machinery. These are artificially created beings that need to articulate and operate the same as their biological counterparts; in short, of course bio synths have doll joints.
>>736556897You couldn't be a more blatant paid shill if you tried. I didn't think anything of your product but our interaction today alienated me. I won't purchase your product and I'll make sure to shit on it from now on. Make sure to show this post to your employer.
>>736557581It's a video game. 3d models should only reflect artistic vision. If your vision is that you think the logical conclusion of android bodies would be doll joints, alright. The bright colors, plastic-looking panels everywhere and nerf guns just make me think "why does everything look like it came from the toy aisle?" though.
>>736554209It probably won't happen until the end of the year. At which point, we'll have had the US mid-term elections, GTA VI, The Game Awards, Gabecube, and the announcement of the next-gen consoles. No one's gonna care by then. I imagine that's Bungie's strategy at the moment. To die in obscurity so that the Bungie brand avoids any more battering.
>>736557396>>literal action figure kneecapsMaybe the super cheap ones from 30 years ago, the ones that care more about quality do a better job at covering up the joints
>>736555268This is Overwatch running at 0.5x speed.>snoy thought this would be their big live service breaklmao
>>736558292It's literally 1 to 1 apex legends how the fuck do you see overwatch?
>>736558437I have yet to see a single wall bounce multi-level climb. If you can show me movement that at least looks like it could be a source game I will buy right now.
>/v/ still seething at being filteredclassic
>>736558437That's because you tool bags all have your brains turned to mush from jerking off too much to ai generated content; everything you see is blending into itself. You have no concept of distincting visual art styles anymore. Everything is everything else now. That's the future you chose.
>>736558573You literally have bunny hopping, slide cancelling and momentum preservation. You even have entire server spawn right next to each other to force pvp in the first minute of the raid. This is literally and I'm not joking apex legends with meta progression.
>>736558735And yet you haven't shown that guy a single second of good movement. I was on the fence for marathon because I actually liked arc but unironically you shills have done a great job of NOT selling me on the game and I feel like I dodged a $40 bullet.
>>736558835>And yet you haven't shown that guy a single second of good movement.I'm not a bungie employee you dumb nigger. I'm not gonna shill the game I'm just saying calling it overwatch is subhuman iq behavior from a retard who never played any games.Also I'm 32 i'm too old to be jumping around like a retard and close quarters with shotgun. I just creep slowly and kill people from behind.
>>736558725>>736559065Tell your employers to get better people. You're making them lose customers.
>>736559065>>736558437He probably sees overwatch because it reminds him of that one webm on kings row last where everyone pops their ult at once and there's fifty billion things on the screen all glowing. And as someone who still plays overwatch it's completely valid.
>>736559301>>736557809Hate to burst your bubble but I am a NEET. I enjoy playing Marathon too. Does that explode your tiny insignificant mind? Good.
>>736559559You're silly.
>>736560151my head is big and proportioned to my anger and i am silly
>>736560151You're dead fucking wrong and you should feel bad about that. Deflecting the conversation into "I was just joshing" is peak coward behavior btw.
>>736554209What wont happen is any of the decision makers getting punished. They all have either golden parachutes or have already made their many millions
>>736558735I wish your game had more players, it's more fun that way
>>736554209Now, young runner, you will die.
>>736554209we move on to chartposting about fairgame$ or horizon hunters gatherer or w/e it's called
I think it's funny how like half of the point of this game was the hero abilities or whatever, but every clip I see is people call of duty oneshotting each other with guns alone.Surely the game would have been a little bit better if they increased the TTK 4x and made movement actually feel good? So you could have real fights? As opposed to everybody walking around like they've got shit in their diaper just to keel over when they get hit by a stiff breeze?
>>736556635What are you talking about? It's clearly TWO different hits, not one.I don't see how a melee weapon that takes at least three hits to kill in a shooter is remotely overpowered.
it finally reached 4 digits btw, they just did a maintenance to hide it
>>736554209running servers is peanuts compared to developing the game and then slopservice. And sony can't take another PR hit on live service. it'll be in maintenance mode for years.
>>736556897>proper lighting, beveled edges, solid colors, minimal grime or other damage textures, simplified models with easy to read silhouettesYou forgot to mention nightmarish eye-searing color vomit that makes simply looking at the screen physically painful.
>>736561025It took 2 hits before nerfs. And especially on duo it was really annoying with people camping in corners since it's basically a one shot and now you're playing 1v2.
>>736555709I assume he's referring to the tax write off part because he doesn't understand how tax write offs actually work
>>736555630this idiot thinks "tax writeoffs" are a magical device that makes everything free
>>736561227This anon has it right. Shutting it down would cost more money than keeping it alive on a skeleton crew. They'll just burn money on it until there are actually no players then quietly drop it when no one is looking anymore
>>736560972A longer TTK would be a great idea provided Bungie wanted to cut the few remaining players down by 90% again. Especially 4x longer. Jesus Christ.
>>736561468>when no one is looking anymoreThis doesn't happen for games with a gigantic microscope right above them.
>>736553991This marathon hate is slowly turning into an obsession
>>736561532You're right, at least in the long run. Even though people will inevitably move on from talking about Marathon, it will get reported on when it announces its server shutdown and become a talking point again.
>>736561532Did you know PS5's big launch online game and Twisted Metal appetizer already reached EOL? It happened 2 years ago. No one will recall Marathon happened in 3 months give or take, from there they can schedule a shutdown.
>>736560537It may surprise you, but you're talking to more than one person, mr. shill.
>>736555630I don't pay taxes, I get paid by taxes actually :)
Honestly the only reason I stopped once I got to Outpost/Cryo was the dogshit performance I get on my low end PC. This game allocates almost everything to the CPU and I'm getting sub-60 on Outpost because of it.
>>736553991bullshit; all of you are just looking for an excuse to stop playing, any excuse, no matter how pathetic, to save face.
>>736563627>performance patch, >in-game LFG (looking for serious non-free kit players and nulling the chance to load in as three Triages)>change level MM to SBMM>addressing cheaters >death replay system >non-chat report system>actual death report>Refillable Cryo kitI can go on
>>736555630>I'm a retard who doesn't know how writing off losses works You might think you're special, but there are a lot of you idiots running around.
>>736553991>11,812 In-Game?! shit what do we do, i know let's nerf the knifeUnironically yes. I watched a team of three get absolutely rekt effortlessly by one dude with an upgraded knife yesterday
>>736561319That would require him to get a job and pay taxes
>>736561484Interesting how all the high TTK games are doing well (arc raiders, apex legends, deadlock) are doing well, while low TTK shooters (tarkov, bf6, marathon) are dead as shitBut nah I'm sure people love spending 15 minutes in a match just to die in .5s, you right.
>>736556402Those ads were probably purchased months ago, and you can't get those things refunded. It's the same reason they went ahead with the Concord episode of that Amazon animated show even though it didn't come out until after the game got taken offline.>>736561319>he doesn't understand how tax write offs actually workBut Sony does, and they're the ones writing it off.
it was always going to be a slow bleed because of bungie fanboys
>>736565623theres a game coming out called fate trigger that has a high TTK, it feels amazing but theres so many players crying to the devs to make people bullet sponges, not realizing thats exactly what would kill the potential of the game
